My Stenciling over Heat Embossing Christmas Card.

I began by adding The Rabbit Hole Designs white powder to an A2 size

 cut piece of a Neenah white 110# cardstock.

Then used MISTI to stamp my SU En Francais Background (ret) using SSS White 

Premium Pigment Ink.  Removed from MISTI and sprinkled with

Wow White EB Powder and heat set and then set aside card front.

 

Next I attached my Brutus Monroe "Stick & Stamp Mat"

onto my glass mat using 3M double stick tape on the back of it,  

which I can use over and over again.

Next used wide 3M white masking tape to secure the cardstock over S&S Mat.

I always use my masking tape multiple times too.

I sponged Memento London Fog Dye Ink through my stencil using T.H.

Blending Sponge with handle.

Wiped off heat embossed En Francais with paper towel

to make sure no London Fog ink was left on script.

Then placed in MISTI and stamped with VersaFine Clair Nocturne black

pigment ink and heat embossed the Pinkfresh Poinsettia Stamp

sentiment with clear SU EB Powder.

I attached with Connect Glue the card front to Neenah 110# White Cardbase 

and embellished with 2 stacked layers of the Pinkfresh Poinsettia Washi Tape

wreath and center image and Done!

 

I was very pleased with the results:-)

The technique worked great for a Christmas card design.

Hope you join us and add your cards to our Linky:-)

The holiday season preparations have started in earnest...Enjoy💖

Time to bundle up too...we are now into our SW Oregon Rainy Season:-)
